Zany, fast-moving and humorous, Scat is a compelling eco-thriller * The Bookseller *
Fast, frenetic fun * Financial Times *
An enjoyable and terrifically paced read * School Librarian *
A real nail-biting eco-thriller setting the can-do optimism of youth against the greed of the baddies * Carousel *
An exciting, unputdownable read * Primary Times *
As ever with Hiaasen, rambunctious humour and twisted, French-farce plotting make the book a joy to read * Financial Times *
Like PG Wodehouse and Terry Pratchett, Carl Hiaasen always returns to the same fictional - or semi-fictionalised - world, but manages to unearth an apparently endless supply of convoluted plots and entertaining characters with improbable names ... a funny and furiously fast-moving noel populated by engaging characters and fuelled by a strong sense of moral outrage * The Guardian *
Carl Hiaasen is a supremely entertaining writer whose novels also bear a timely message ... all the Hiaasen trademarks are there: wit ... an abiding belief in the power of the individual to alter things, and an instinct for ingenious plotting that never lets him down * The Independent *
A brilliant, fast-moving eco-aware thriller * LOVEREADING4KIDS *
Hiaasen fans will love this book and newcomers will be hooked by this entertaining thriller. -- John Millen * SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST *
We missed this in hardback last year but have been gripped by the paperback version just out. Eco aware page-turning thriller with scary teachers, oil prospectors and a panther on the loose. * ANGELS AND URCHINS *
